Best Restaurants in Highbury (2026): Eat Like You Live Here
Highbury is good for bakeries, wine and restaurants that do not advertise, and the restaurants people save most are Westerns Laundry, Perilla and Xi'an Impression London. Ranked from 20 places we track here, creator picks first.
Updated · 20 places we track in Highbury, all first recorded in March 2026
Highbury and Newington Green quietly hold one of the best eating strips in north London. Jolene bakes the bread, Trullo and Perilla take the evenings, and Westerns Laundry does fish and wine without making a fuss about it. None of it is signposted. That is rather the point.
How we chose
We track 20 places in Highbury filed under restaurants. Some of them turned up in creator videos we pulled apart. Places with a creator mention, a member save or a member gem rank first, and mentions weigh most. The rest runs on a broader popularity signal from our wider place index, so the tail of this list moves less than the top does. Last added to in March 2026.
